At first Romney seemed like the moderate republican compared to all of the other garbage put out there by the republicans. Now it seems like romeney is the same piece of trash that has been rehashed before. IMO if the republicans were serious about having a decent canidate with a decent shot of winning they should have let McCain run again and gave him a running mate with some sense even though those are few and far between in the GOP.

What world do you live in mrtaxman? You must be one of the filthy rich people that he caters to. Romney does not give a damn about the working man, he cannot be trusted doing the right thing with our tax money since he is so secretive of his tax returns and he also insensitive to the needs of the common man to have basic health care for himself and his family. Again if you are filthy rich and don't care about the working men then you I can understand why you would support someone with the same agenda that you have but as far as us working class people we need a canidate in office that represents us. Not saying that President Obama is the perfect canidate because there are some things that I disagree with him on but with the two canidates who have the most realistic chance of winning he is clearly the best.

What could he had possibly done in the classroom that is so terrible? Fail a math test? Cheat on a history exam? Get someone to write a term paper for him? Are you saying that no republican has ever done any of those while in school? Yes it is not a good thing to cheat in school but we learn from the mistakes in school grow up, mature and move on.

Again, Romney on Iran scares the hell out of me but I just cant figure out why Mitt is getting a raw deal because he is rich...Plus I know it isnt on the same level but it isnt like Barack is going straight back to the poor house after his presidency is over...

Not that that's the actual problem. The problem is a guy who has no idea what it's like to be poor...heck I wouldn't even say he knows what it's like to be well off.

Personally I dont think the economy as it sits right now is the issue. There are a ton of companis out there holding right where they are and doing no investing because they are waiting to see what obamacare is going to do to them. I believe perception is reality and a large percentage of small businesses are sitting n cash right now instead of investing in expansion or new employees.

I disagree.... I think he is passionate about the American economy. I dont think he is for the common man but I could care less.... If it gets better at the top it wil trickle down. I know a lot of people dont feel that way but in my opinion cutting taxes on the rich will put more money in the pockets of people like me when they come to my place of business and invest or buy items. By cutting taxes on corporation they will either A. hire new employees, or B. invest in machinery or expansion that will help the common man. In a sense even though you look at it as giving his buddy a break I see it as helping us all by giving his buddy a break.

How many jobs has Obama created ever? He would start now because formerly as CEO the only people he needed to please were shareholders... Taxpayers are the shareholders of the US which gives him a responsibility of creating jobs here. As a shareholder I would expect him to do what is best for the bottom line of the company and because of current laws and taxes it is cheaper to move jobs overseas.

That I can agree with, but at the same time, conservatives (like INTIM) like to talk about Obama having less political and business experience, but Obama has more real world experience.

Just because Romney has not held the presidency YET dosent mean he is any less qualified than Obama , Hell from what Obama has done he has no presidency experience yet, he's a slow learner.

"Feed the rich and let the poor beg for scraps" or "trickle down" is not good for anyone but the already wealthy. It can be theorized, but in reality, we are all sitting under the table waiting for something to fall. That doesn't sound good for you (I'd say me, but I'm Canadian).

So you dont think giving everyone more money to spend is a good thing? Itis funny that some people think giving the rich a tax break will suddenly make us as individuals worse off... You make it sound like cutting taxes for the rich will somehow take money out of our pocket. What Romney has proposed is cutting everyones taxes not just the wealthy.

Yes, Romney showed he cares more about money than his own country and economy. He showed he is a GREAT puppet. In short, he showed he's a GREAT Republican candidate.
Terrible Presidential candidate, but a money-grubbing puppet sounds exactly like what the Republican party wants.

I still propose a former CEO is exactly what this country needs... Maybe not Romney but someone will REAL business experience and having to balance a P&L and reporting to shareholders is experience you cannot get anywhere else but in business.

That I can agree with, but at the same time, conservatives (like INTIM) like to talk about Obama having less political and business experience, but Obama has more real world experience. I don't think he really cares about the middle class, but I do think he sees them as people. I think Romney sees the middle class as one entity, not as a group of people.

The only real world experience I am worried about it what I detailed above.... I could care less if he served food at a soup kitchen and that makes him more qualified for a job. There are a TON of good people out there but just because someone donates all their time to community service and organizing projects does not make them the best candidate for presidency. Again, I am not saying Romney is the best ever, I just think at this time he is the best candidate because of his background in business. I think his foreign policy ideas suck but honestly I dont think there are any good plans out there

Yes, and then Romney wants to cut taxes for the rich further. It's not that giving them money makes anyone poorer, but tax dollars exist for a reason and are necessary. How does he plan to pay for...
